Product Description:

What is a quick release pin?
Quick release pins, also known as ball lock pins, locking pins or safety pins, have a wide range of applications. They are used for securing, locking, connecting, adjusting and facilitating quick position changes.

When paired with a receiver plate, these pins provide a reliable and secure locking feature. The design ensures ease of use and facilitates quick changeover and replacement of parts as needed.

Quick release pins are highly resistant to shear, corrosion and wear. This makes them ideal for applications that require frequent, quick, manual assembly and disassembly of products.

Quick release pins are fastening connectors for quick locking and removal of workpieces, and can be used to quickly connect and hook up components. Pressing the button on the handle can make the steel ball on the head of the pin body retract and push the quick release pin through the hole of the workpiece; when the button is released, the steel ball pops out and the quick release pin can not be pulled out from the hole.

The pin body diameter and clamping length are processed with high precision, which is suitable for all kinds of high-precision positioning and insertion. Can be customised according to customer's requirements.

Quick Release Pin Head and Handle Styles
Quick release pins usually have a pin and a handle and come in a variety of handle styles. As such, they can also be categorised by head/handle type:
T-Handle Quick Release Pins, Ring Handle Quick Release Pins, L-Handle Quick Release Pins, Push Button Handle Quick Release Pins, Double Acting Quick Release Pins, Lifting Pins

T-Handle A wide range of handles featuring a T-shaped handle for a firm grip and simple operation. Attached parts are easily released by pulling and holding the handle.

L-Handle Quick-Release Pins A compromise between the ring handle and T-Handle variants. The release mechanism has an L-shaped handle on only one side of the pin. These are suitable for applications where a firm grip is required but there are space constraints.

Applications

Release pins made from carbon steel grades 4.8, 8.8, and 12.9 are vital components used in automotive safety and suspension systems. These pins, available in sizes ranging from M3 to M18, provide the necessary strength and reliability for securing components in high-performance automotive applications. Automotive safety and suspension systems require components that can handle high stresses and maintain their integrity under dynamic loads, and carbon steel pins are ideal for this purpose.

In automotive safety systems, release pins are used to secure components in airbag deployment systems, safety seatbelt mechanisms, and crash impact structures. These systems must be highly reliable, as they are crucial to the safety of vehicle occupants. The strength and durability of carbon steel grades 4.8, 8.8, and 12.9 ensure that the release pins perform reliably during the vehicle’s lifecycle, even under heavy loads and impacts.

In suspension systems, carbon steel release pins are used to secure parts of the shock absorber and spring assemblies, which are subjected to constant movement and stress. These pins provide a quick-release function, allowing for efficient assembly and maintenance of suspension components. The ability of these carbon steel pins to withstand the rigors of daily driving and adverse road conditions makes them indispensable in automotive applications.

The high tensile strength and resistance to wear and corrosion make these release pins a preferred choice in automotive safety and suspension systems. Their durability ensures that they provide a long service life, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement, which is crucial for ensuring the long-term performance and safety of automotive vehicles.
